    Not in the English language apparently. This is news to me. A nephew (in German) is the son/daughter of one of your siblings.
    We call the sons of our brothers and sisters "neef" (nephew) but we also call the sons of our aunts and uncles "neef". I thought this was the same everywhere? <_<>_>

    The latter is called cousin here. Or "Vetter/Base".

    Oh Aldo, your language so silly

    I was just attacked by a mob of 4-6 year olds.

    Great, now I have the scene from Matrix:Reloaded in my mind... :P

    How did you fend them off, Janson?

    Well they were blocking my path and waving toy guns and toy phones (?) at me, I didn't slow down my pace, I couldn't see any parents around and kids that young shouldn't be in the road. The littlest one ran up to me and when I tried to sidestep he blocked me. So because he was about thigh-height I just gave him a gentle push aside and continued on my way.

    Then they started screaming and ran after me (I was walking at a brisk pace) so I turned around and looked at the little punk nearest me and then they ran off.

    That's what you get for calling my language silly. :x

    Hey, I like the Dutch language, Aldo. It makes me a bit of an outcast, though... :P

    You're okay. The horde of little children will spare you.

    I posted in the "this is where I live"-thread, by the way.

    Nah, it's ok. Pictures of your entire landmass were shown. ;-)

    Hey, I found a nice site (in English!), that has many pictures of the next bigger town from where I live (about 4 kilometers away, actually).

    Here's the link.

    But I will take some photos myself someday.

    if you see me say hi
    and you don't really know me
    it's not that I'm nice
    it's just that I can't see.

    don't want to wear glasses

    I need to get new glasses. I haven't had an eye test in years, and now they're free, so I don't really have an excuse.

    I don’t have it yet. :(

    They never got around to delivering it yesterday, I guess, so I’m hoping I get it early today.

    Yeah, many half-timbered houses, very old stuff (15th to 18th century). I really like it here.

    Oh shit I found it on the internet.

    That was the Baptist church a couple miles from where I lived. On the left are the second floor pews and on the right, you can't see it, but there's an organ connected to a network of pipes. It's demolished now obviously, but that was a pretty cool sight at the time.

    Hehe, true. I don't think about them at all, so...

    But speaking of religious persons: There's a funny pissing contest between a really conservative bishop and one of the figure-heads of our green party going on over the last week. Words like "fundy" and "nazi" get thrown around alot, it's like kindergarten. Or an internet-forum. :P
